Lin Qiubai did not respond, focusing intently on sketching the sealing formation.
With a point of energy gathering at his fingertips, he elegantly traced intricate lines in the void, twisting and turning until he finally outlined a light golden four-sided prism formation.
He flicked his fingers lightly.
The golden prism flew into the void, like a willow branch touching the surface of a blue wave, creating ripples that spread outward.
Under Lin Qiubai's relentless efforts day and night, the valley soon became radiant with golden light, as if illuminated by morning dew in the sunlight.
Three days later, three thousand five hundred sealing formations took root in the void, their powerful sealing force gradually spreading.
Lin Qiubai waved his hand, causing all the formations to conceal themselves.
If one were to enter without some understanding of formations, there would be no chance of escape.
"Has the Evil Substance really been born? Why can’t I sense it?"
The spirit of the artifact asked eagerly as Lin Qiubai completed his arrangements.
"There is no such thing as an Evil Substance; it doesn't exist," Lin Qiubai replied with a mysterious smile.
"Then why have you set up over three thousand sealing formations? What exactly are you planning?"
The spirit of the artifact was filled with confusion. Since no Evil Substance had emerged, why go to such lengths to arrange more than three thousand sealing formations?
Although these formations could easily trap a mid-level expert from the Yuan Dan Realm for ten days, it wasted three precious days. In three days, one might obtain a mid-grade king-level cultivation technique!
"You aren't thinking of targeting the Source of the Ethereal Heart Secret Realm, are you?"
The spirit of the artifact suddenly spoke in a sharp voice, incredulously asking.
"Are you trying to extract the Enlightenment Stone's vein source? Or do you want to take all those inheritances away?"
Upon this thought, the spirit was stunned. Its master had a style of action that was unpredictable and often audacious...
It was possible that he was really up to something devious!
Lin Qiubai cast an approving glance at the spirit. For the first time, he felt that this little artifact spirit was quite clever. At least the ideas just mentioned had some merit.
"Can you find out the hidden location of the Source in the Ethereal Heart Secret Realm? Once found, can we use the sealing formations to trap it?"
Seeing the 'green glint' in Lin Qiubai's eyes, the spirit quickly intervened.
"No! The Yuyun Secret Realm was created by ancient powers; how could its Source be easily obtained? As for the vein source of the Enlightenment Stone, it's better to give up on that... Forcibly capturing the Source or the vein source of the Enlightenment Stone might bring disaster."
The spirit's voice was steady as it calmly analyzed the situation.
With Lin Qiubai's cultivation level, the possibility of stealing from either of them was zero. Forcing the issue would likely result in backlash and serious injury.
Lin Qiubai clicked his tongue; no matter how bold he was, he would never entertain the thought of stealing the Source or the Enlightenment Stone. That would be akin to draining a pond dry. Taking away the Source would render the Ethereal Heart Secret Realm useless.
"Don't worry, I have my own plans. Just sit back and enjoy the show."
Lin Qiubai calmed the excited spirit tool, then with a light push of his toes, his figure darted out of the canyon, beginning the second step of his scheme.
...
By noon on the third day, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the Ethereal Heart Secret Realm, and nearly everyone was discussing it:
"Breaking news! Breaking news! The White Emperor's legacy has appeared in the Northern region of the Ethereal Heart Secret Realm! It is said that the White Emperor was a powerful figure from a hundred thousand years ago. The legacy he left behind includes at least low-grade king-level cultivation techniques and Martial Arts! Those interested should hurry and try their luck!"
"That's true news; I've heard about it too. A lucky trial participant has already obtained a low-grade king-level cultivation technique. Such techniques operate like the sun and moon traversing the heavens, like the River of Jianghe flowing through the land. They are vast and magnificent, surging for thousands of miles."
"It is said that this trial participant lacked sufficient strength and could only obtain a low-grade king-level technique. If someone with greater talent were to participate, they could surely acquire a mid-grade king-level technique or even some of the White Emperor's most renowned Martial Arts and techniques."
"When that happens, reaching the reincarnation realm will be no problem!"
This news spread like wildfire, becoming common knowledge within half a day.
The White Emperor's legacy—the first announced location of a legacy!
The other seven inheritances were completely untraceable, with not even a whisper of information leaked. The two hundred trial participants had been stumbling around like headless flies for three days, and they were starting to feel a bit anxious.
Thus, after hearing this news, they all hurried towards the Northern region.
The term "Reincarnation Realm" carried significant weight. The allure of an inheritance from a strong individual in the Reincarnation Realm was almost deadly. They had no reason not to come.
"They're here, please step into the pot..."
Lin Qiubai stood on a nearby mountaintop, laughing to himself.
In just one day, nearly one hundred and fifty people had gathered here, indicating that his behind-the-scenes maneuvering had been very successful.
He was just waiting for the formation to open, so that these more than one hundred and fifty people would foolishly step into the pot!
With this thought in mind, Lin Qiubai licked his lips, his gaze sharp as it fell upon the three thousand sealing formations.
The entrance to the formation had been obscured by Lin Qiubai's illusion technique; it appeared to lead underground and looked impressive, but in reality, it was just a façade hiding something rotten inside.
Inside was quite 'dangerous.'
At this moment, over a hundred trial participants had gathered at the entrance created by Lin Qiubai.
They were whispering among themselves.
"The White Emperor's inheritance truly lives up to its reputation; I can almost feel the dense primal power."
Someone gazed ahead in astonishment. It was, in fact, the power of the seal, subtly overflowing.
"There are over three thousand formations on the tip of the iceberg; there must be millions hidden beneath. Perhaps even tens of millions. Truly worthy of the White Emperor's Legacy! This is promising!"
A flash of brilliance briefly appeared in Cao Yufei's eyes.
Upon hearing this, ninety percent of the challengers stood solemnly at the entrance, carefully examining the formation.
"When will the formation activate? There are only two days left until the Ethereal Heart Secret Realm closes. How long do we have to wait?"
"There's no need to panic. According to that lucky challenger, every time dusk falls, a golden beam of light descends from the sky, perfectly aligning with the central hub of the formation. At that moment, influenced by the light beam, a small opening will appear in the formation, which is the best time to enter. We just need to wait for dusk to arrive."
Lin Qiubai's pieces explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the sky.
At this moment, the entire Ethereal Heart Secret Realm had gradually darkened, as if the sun were obscured by clouds, and a slight chill began to spread.
It has begun!
Someone widened their eyes.
Indeed, they saw countless golden rays descending from the sky.
Among them, one beam fell straight into the center of the formation, illuminating a brilliant crystal at its core. The refracted light shimmered in a rainbow of colors, resembling a divine phenomenon.
The crowd was amazed.
"The White Emperor legacy truly lives up to its reputation."
This was the fervent thought in their minds.
"Using the principles of light! When did you become so adept at refining tools? Even the Supreme Heavenly Dao of tool refinement couldn't be this exaggerated, could it? You haven't systematically studied this!"
The tool spirit was left speechless.
Such obscure knowledge, if it weren't for being recorded in the heavenly scriptures, it probably wouldn't have been understood at all, as it had no practical use for cultivation and limited help for tool refinement.
Very few people researched it.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qiubai was able to apply it flexibly.
Lin Qiubai waved his hand; he had learned this knowledge in middle school. Ancient charlatans loved to use this knowledge to construct strange buildings and deceive the common people.
It was no big deal.
"What matters is not this; what matters is that once the net is cast, one must reap the harvest."
Lin Qiubai leaped down from the mountaintop, and hundreds of sealing formations flew from his hands, merging into the gorge. In an instant, the sealing formations underwent a dramatic change, suppressing all those trial-takers who rushed into the ‘White Emperor legacy’ within…
